Exercise of the Week: Anti-Rotation Goblet Squat

This week’s exercise combines two exercises that are used in a lot of my clients programs: the anti-rotation hold and the goblet squat. Each exercise used alone will get at your core. Put the two together and you get an enhanced effect.

In order to perform this exercise all you are going to do is loop a Super Band around a power rack or some other type of post and then wrap the other end of the band on the far side of the kettlebell handle. A 1/2 inch Super Band should be more than enough resistance. If you do want more resistance, before you get into your squat step further away from the post. Once you are set up and have the kettlebell in the goblet position, descend into your squat while resisting the rotational pull from the Super Band. Perform 6-10 reps facing one way and then 6-10 reps facing the other way.
